Queen of Hearts Quotes

“When we got married, I poured all my energy into turning myself into the wife he wanted. I never wore my hair up, because he'd commented that my ears were big. I let him answer questions when we had company, because he'd said I tended to ramble. I felt like a human-shaped shell, hollowing myself out for my husband so he could fill me with his own likes and desires.

I make a mental note to myself—find some real friends.”
― Heather Day Gilbert, Queen of Hearts

“But for the outcasts like me, the ones who don't fit the box, the only words that remind me I'm human are my own.”
― Heather Day Gilbert, Queen of Hearts
